Living Life Better

"How many persons do you complacently despise in your life?? Those whom you wish to be as extinct from your life as is your visualization for dinosaur . Count the number of persons you love to hate and bring equivalent number of potatoes in the next class"... A teacher asked his students.

Next morning students assembled in the class room with their bag packs full of potatoes. Few carried one, some four , five , six and the rich ones carried twelve potatoes . And, there stood their Master with knife in his hand. Students were amazed and perceived that sir is in a mood for making potato curry today. All the observations remain surmised.

"Engrave, the name of the persons you abhorred, on potatoes with knife.Make sure one potato has one name." Teacher commanded to his students," Now put all the potatoes inside your bag packs and let us go for outing." Everybody got enthusiastic and geared themselves for the journey. They followed the instructor and lifted their bag packs on shoulders and started.

They covered miles following the silent Teacher who did not answer where they were heading towards. They moved on and on....After some time, the journey that initially seemed to be lively now kept everyone engaged in adjusting cumbersome bag packs on their shoulders. With the passage of some more time, when everyone was at the brink of fatigue the rotten smell of potatoes annoyed them and made them unviable to tread a path. Their was no halt and the journey was unbearable now and what annoyed them most was their Master's silence.
Finally, teacher broke the silence and declared journey was over. Students, struggled to reposition their hands, untwisted their arms and placed their bags down with sigh of relief. Everybody was shocked when they realized that they were returned to place from where they started.
"Here we are! Wasn't the journey exciting!", Teacher said. " Sir , what did you say?? Exxx...citing??", said flabbergasted students.

Teacher justified," Oh yes! The waterfall that we came across in the middle of our journey was so serene.And, that colorful garden, where birds chirped and butterflies hovered was eye soothing. The morning mist that burned when the Sun caste its radiance at the landscape."

" No ", teacher explained," because your mind was arrested to carefully carry those hefty bags of potatoes that engraved your enemies name and smelled so badly. Still you manged to carry them, throughout your way.You did not happen to see the scenic beauty on the way of your journey."

Life is like a journey. It is in our hands to decide if we want to travel light by dispersing all the grudges from our heart, soul and mind so that we can cherish the good moments of our life throughout the journey or we want to travel heavy with complaints, hatred and distrust. We keep ourselves busy in cursing others and their shortcomings that we become oblivious to real purpose of our live--to be happy under every circumstances.We do not stop admiring rose because it has thorns with it.
Negativity creeps our mind and we never try to encourage the positive things around . We become too ignorant and we refused to let it go..Why?? It is just because of our unwillingness to let it go of. We entrap ourselves in frustration for others that makes real beauty of our life go unnoticed. The solution lies within us. We just need to see our life from the opposite angle which reflects the definition of only love, joy and laugh.
It is very easy to yell at someone..easy to curse them and finding faults ..DO THE DIFFICULT. DO NOT REACT.
Everybody wishes to love and enjoy his/her own life, then why don't we focus on just living it that way.... Love never asks us to hate. It always asks us to praise. Love together..Laugh Together..Let go of all the complaints...Life is too short for billions and trillions of complaints to be addressed. Accept and praise people as they are. And always remember :

It was a month of January .Delhi NCR was freezing and there was no let up in icy winds. At 9 a.m, when I stepped out of my house to rush for the morning class, I encountered a subtle view of Gurgaon. Clouds hovered...and then there was unusual morning silence in the street.. I wanted to enjoy that weather...holding a mug of coffee in my hand..sitting near the window ... talking with my roommates... I was heading towards the college...lost in my chain of thoughts when a rickshaw puller addressed me "Madam, Rickshaw chaihye kya?( Do you want a conveyance? ) .. I wanted to walk in that lovely weather to reach my college when it started pouring.. I placed my self in a rickshaw by giving him an assent and told him my destination when a girl called the rickshaw puller and asked him to drop her half a way of my destination. I scooted over so that she could sit. We exchanged smile and greeted each other... She opened up her umbrella upside down to rest it on our lap to avoid tiny droplets...
In that 2 min stint of a ride, we could only had a small introduction about ourselves....When we were parting it started raining more...She showed concern about my reaching to college without an umbrella as I would be drenched in rain....

She said " Oh!! I pray to God that you reach safely to your destined place and may it stop raining by the time you reach there.."

She murmured this prayer for my safety and we parted..Her words moved me completely.. She left an impression of humanity over me...

We scarcely knew each other and talked just for minute and a half.. Her words made me feel positive and I was happy to receive them.. I realized the importance of being human at that moment as it is a human who can prevail humanity...by a word of love ..through smile...through concern ..... sometimes by rendering help...

The girl made my day... I reached to destined place safely without being drenched...Start every day with a smile so that we can bring a smile to someone's face..Pray for every one every day..Render help and caress without a reason ...Look the Sun is Shining in your heart..what a day..it is your day...Open Happiness everyday..!!! :) (:"Kisi ko Smile dena..Kisi ko khush kar jana...kisi ka din banana..khushi yuhi lootana..agar ye sab crazy hai..... to haaon mein crazy hoonnn ..I AM CRAZYyyy" :) :)

For a minute or two , seriously imagine what it would be like if you were told that you were going to die now - immediately- this very minute.

You can have no contact , from anyone near and dear to you .

If you have children ,you cannot go to them .

If you have a husband or a wife or a friend with you, you will be leaving them all behind,without saying goodbye.

You are also leaving this body behind ; this body you have become attached to.

You are going to leave all your worldly possessions behind- possessions you have spent many years accumulating . Your money in the bank or building society or wherever you have it will be spent by someone else .

Just picture this seriously for a few moments , and try to imagine how would you feel.Where do your thoughts run to ?You wife, your husband,your children,your parents,your possessions your money? Or could you leave all these things behind happily and have no regrets?No matter how frightening this may sound , it could happen to anyone of us at any time , and it is happening just this way to thousands of people every single day.No time left -Just think there will be no time to make amends if you have spoken harsh words or been unkind to anyone.Be polite.There will be no time to say sorry if you have been bad or unfaithful a husband , a wife , a child or a friend.Be Sorry .No time to put things right if you have been a bad mother or a father .Be caring and loving.No time to feel sorry if you have not given sufficient time and attention to your ageing and parents.Give time .No time to regret on sins you did while living .Do Praying.
